You're wasting a fair bit. You can get a qualitative sense by feeling how warm the fan exhaust is: I use my cheese grater Mac Pro to stop my uninsulated home office freezing up in the winter.
However, despite the savings, you may not break even if your PSU fails early due to thermal cycling (probably a rare event, but a PSU for a machine like the one you describe was probably built to be left on in a commercial use case.)
